Mc Cabe family Rockville Street Belfast.

I think I will have to find the death certificate for Kathleen Mc Cabe or Kathleen Mc Kee , the name she used in the hospital in 1975 according to my wife who is wrestling with her brain at the minute for precise dates!!!

I haven’t read through this thread in full so this may be the wrong Kathleen McKee.
Strabane Chronicie.
Died 13 Dec 1975
Shopkeeper
Widow of Bernard
Formerly Callan from Carrickmacross Monaghan
Some relatives mentioned if this is the correct woman.

It sounds as though Kathleen McCabe/McKee wasn't married. Wonder if this might be her? (no indication if single, married, etc.)
1943 Belfast directory- McKee, Kathleen, 55 Joanmount Gardens
https://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/alphanames1943Mc.htm (not there in 1947)
Added- not at that address in 1939 directory.

Just looking in the Belfast Newspapers from 1940 there are loads of  Kathleen McKee, most are married women.
There is one Kathleen McEldowney nee McCabe died 1983 Brompton Park, widow of John.
Otherwise a bit of a needle in a haystack, no joy with Joanmount.

I did see this death notice in the Belfast Telegraph on 7 Sept 1968. Wondered if Mary Elizabeth and Katherine were the same as from this family?

There are a number more death notices in this issue for Mary McKibben which name her husband and children and family. In one of them, her husband is named as the late William McKibben of Braeside, Station Road, Whiteabbey.

Surname showing on the different notices as either McKibben or McKibbin.

The capital 'S' for sister Katherine made me wonder if she was not only sister to Mary but also a nun?

Kathleen lived in 12 Donnybrook St as a friend of mine had a Belfast Street directory for 1974 and called me her name is in the directory. The problem with her name arose when she was admitted to the City Hospital and my wife dropped her her mother off to visit her and was told there was no patient by the name of Kathleen Mc Cabe but my mother in law explained that she was admitted that morning and told the receptionist the address she was told that it was Kathleen Mc Kee who was admitted!!! Now there is some sort of connection with this name as can be seen earlier in the thread and it’s quite puzzling to say the least. Thank u everyone for your contribution so far.

Have to add that Kathleen was never married.
